The Father Who Smokes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. One of the brothers is asking, saying: How do I call my father to the truth if he is a smoker or commits some sins, and he sees me as one of his younger sons who has not reached a level where he would advise him through me?
Answer:
You must explain to your father the harms of smoking and what has been said about it. Send him the scholars' rulings on the prohibition of smoking. Be gentle with him. Perhaps Allah will guide him. There are many rulings and treatises on the prohibition of smoking and explaining its harms, and there are statements from doctors warning about smoking, its calamities, and its diseases. So you must try with him. Perhaps Allah will guide him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
